Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs has admitted that is keen to return to Wembley in the FA Cup as he seeks his fifth Cup winners’ medal.The reigning champions take on Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the competition today, with a lengthy injury list meaning Giggs should feature.
Yet the Welshman is clearly relishing the tie and admitted that as he gets older, his motivation to win trophies simply increases.
“As you come to the end of your career, the motivation gets stronger - because this could be the last one,” he said according to sportinglife.com. “You are more focused and more determined than ever, and I really want to get back to Wembley.”
The Red Devils are likely to welcome a weakened Spurs side, who are also struggling with injuries, yet Giggs confessed he was not worried about Harry Redknapp’s team. He said: “There is no point thinking about what Tottenham are doing.
“You have to approach every game with the right attitude and concentration; otherwise you will get beaten.
“Tottenham are a great club with good traditions in the FA Cup. We cannot take them lightly.”
Today’s clash between the two sides is a warm up for next month’s Carling Cup final, which both clubs qualified for in midweek.
With United currently sitting top of the Premier League, and still involved in the Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup, talk has inevitably led to the club achieving an unprecedented quadruple.
However, Giggs revealed that such talk failed to distract the players, who simply wanted to get out on the pitch and play.
“People talk about winning four trophies, but players just get on with it,” he said before adding: “We have put the Carling Cup to bed, next is the FA Cup.
“We just have to perform, whatever competition we are playing in.”
